VILLAGERS RELEASE ‘NOTHING ARRIVED’ ON 11TH NOVEMBER 2013

Following their second Mercury Music Prize nomination for their second album {Awayland}, Villagers are to release ‘Nothing Arrived’, (a ‘hybrid of melancholy and euphoria’ - Uncut) as a single on 11th November 2013.

The accompanying video, directed by Alden Volney documents a day in the life of lonely office worker Terrence Bliss - whose repetitive existence is momentarily disturbed. Watch it HERE.

Villagers appeared at many festivals this summer including Glastonbury, T in the Park, Latitude, Leeds and Reading, Green Man and also made an appearance at Beck's Song Reader Live at the Barbican alongside Jarvis Cocker and Franz Ferdinand.
